    x86/traps: 'Fix' safety of read_registers() in #DF path
    
    All interrupts and exceptions pass a struct cpu_user_regs up into C.  This
    contains the legacy vm86 fields from 32bit days, which are beyond the
    hardware-pushed frame.
    
    Accessing these fields is generally illegal, as they are logically out of
    bounds for anything other than an interrupt/exception hitting ring1/3 code.
    
    show_registers() unconditionally reads these fields, but the content is
    discarded before use.  This is benign right now, as all parts of the stack 
are
    readable, including the guard pages.
    
    However, read_registers() in the #DF handler writes to these fields as part 
of
    preparing the state dump, and being IST, hits the adjacent stack frame.
    
    This has been broken forever, but c/s 6001660473 "x86/shstk: Rework the 
stack
    layout to support shadow stacks" repositioned the #DF stack to be adjacent 
to
    the guard page, which turns this OoB write into a fatal pagefault:

    and rendering the main #DF analysis broken.
    
    The proper fix is to delete cpu_user_regs.es and later, so no
    interrupt/exception path can access OoB, but this needs disentangling from 
the
    PV ABI first.
